Today's upgrade installed a new pipewire version, like this (sub)package:
pipewire-pulse (1.2.4-1~bpo12+1+rpt1) over (0.3.65-3+rpt9+deb12u1)
More important, the upgrade does also this:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
paprefs pulseaudio-module-gsettings
Which then cause networked pulseaudio to break/disappear
My first intention was to pull the 3.5mm plug from the Pi4B and put it into my N100 box as that runs Opensuse Tumbleweed and has no problem running pipewire and pulseaudio side-by-side.
But purging pipewire and reinstalling paprefs pulseaudio-module-gsettings restored the functionality so I leave it like that for the time being.
Debian(s) seem to have dis-functional networked pulseaudio for at least 1 year (Bookworm), Ubuntu already longer. With ArchLinux maybe one can get it to work via pipewire-pulse, but I only read some wiki article. On dist-upgraded computers from Bullseye it kept on working after also disabling/removing much of the pipewire stuff.
So I should have purged pipewire upfront I guess or maybe it still removes paprefs pulseaudio-module-gsettings because the bpo12 package is maybe considered a new module/package that anyhow gets installed because the RPiOS DE needs it or so.
The Pi4 run-mode is multi-user.target without a HDMI cable but still KDE installed still. The networked pulseaudio is independent of the DE, I also use it on Armbian AllwinnerH3 board with SPDIF out but no video connector at all.
